Chapter 248 "Jiaolong"Deep-sea Exploration and Rescue Submersible
When the senior executives of 704 Shipyard present heard the news, their hearts sank suddenly, as if a huge boulder suddenly hit their hearts.
Flame Nation The Navy's purchase quantity of this Deep-sea Exploration and Rescue Submersible is so small.
This means that 704 Shipyard is likely to be unable to recover even the huge initial design and development costs.
What is even more troublesome is that this kind of Deep-sea Exploration and Rescue Submersible is almost blank in both the domestic and international markets, and there is no other buyer to share the costs and risks.
Thinking of this, Lin Chenran couldn't sit still anymore. He immediately stood up, put on a pitiful look, and said to Elder Zhang who was sitting opposite, "Elder Zhang, although we 704 Shipyard are very willing to serve the country and take on the important task of designing and developing this Deep-sea Exploration and Rescue Submersible, the purchase quantity is really too small!"
"We 704 Shipyard directly poured a large amount of funds into it."
"You also know that our factory has just started to improve."
As soon as he finished speaking, other 704 Shipyard executives present nodded in agreement, expressing their complete agreement with Lin Chenran's views.
Faced with the complaints and complaints from everyone, the leaders of the Flame Nation Navy instantly became a little at a loss.
At this time, Elder Zhang frowned slightly and sighed softly.
After thinking silently for a while, he finally made up his mind and said decisively, "Okay! Our navy will pay for this!"
Lin Chenran is indeed right, Deep-sea Exploration and Rescue Submersible has almost no market share.
Even if it is designed and developed, there is a high probability that it will not be sold.
Pan Xueming on the side looked eager, staring closely at Elder Huang in front of him, and asked, "Old Huang, when will the extreme deep dive test of our navy's Nuclear Submarine be carried out?"
This needs to give an approximate time to 704 Shipyard.
They must deliver Deep-sea Exploration and Rescue Submersible to the Flame Nation Navy within the specified time.
Elder Huang fell into a brief thought again. After about a few seconds, he suddenly raised his head, with a flash of determination in his eyes, and answered decisively, "According to the current plan, if nothing unexpected happens, our Nuclear Submarine will have to start extreme deep diving testing in the second half of next year."
"Once the test is successful, Nuclear Submarine will be quickly deployed to the entire maritime waters of our country and assume important national defense tasks."
Then, Elder Huang seemed to have remembered something, and added, "If you 704 Shipyard can speed up and build Deep-sea Exploration and Rescue Submersible efficiently, the extreme deep-diving test will be advanced."
Today's international situation is rapidly changing and complex, and there is really no room for the Flame Nation navy to show any delay or delay.
"That means we will design, develop, manufacture and deliver Deep-sea Exploration and Rescue Submersible to your navy within one and a half years."
Lin Chenran said calmly.
The senior leader of the Flame Nation navy on the side nodded.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Chenran turned around and looked at Pan Xueming next to him, and the two looked at each other.
"No problem, we 704 Shipyard guarantee to complete the task."
Lin Chenran patted his chest and answered in the affirmative.
Elder Huang then put forward various requirements for this Deep-sea Exploration and Rescue Submersible.
704 Shipyard's senior executives wrote down the requirements put forward by Elder Huang.
Watching the motorcade of Flame Nation's senior naval leaders drifting away and finally disappearing at the end of the horizon, Lin Chenran turned around and hurried into the conference room with the senior leaders of 704 Shipyard with a solemn expression.
The theme of their meeting was to discuss how to manufacture Deep-sea Exploration and Rescue Submersible that meets the requirements of the Navy.
After entering the conference room, Lin Chenran coughed lightly, breaking the brief silence in the room.
He glanced at everyone present, and then said slowly, "The Navy has given us 704 Shipyard a mission - to build Deep-sea Exploration and Rescue Submersible with excellent performance, reliability and practicality."
"Next, I hope you can speak freely and express your opinions. Regarding the specific requirements Elder Huang has put forward for this submersible, you can express your truest thoughts without reservation."
Lin Chenran As soon as he finished speaking, there was a slight discussion in the conference room.
A moment later, a senior executive spoke first, "I think the most critical point of Deep-sea Exploration and Rescue Submersible is that it must have strong enough pressure resistance to withstand the daunting and huge water pressure in the deep sea."
"After all, the deep-sea environment is extremely harsh and the pressure is beyond imagination. If the submersible cannot withstand such water pressure, everything will be impossible."
Another participant then added, "Yes, in addition to the ability to withstand pressure, the internal floor area ratio is also one of the crucial factors."
"Because we need to consider how many soldiers trapped in the sunken submarine can be rescued at one time."
"Once a submarine unfortunately sinks to the bottom of the sea due to various unpredictable reasons, the amount of oxygen that its internal oxygen supply equipment can provide is very limited, and as time goes by, harmful gases will continue to accumulate."
"We need to race against time to launch rescue operations and rescue as many soldiers in danger as possible."
Hearing this, Lin Chenran nodded slightly in agreement and motioned for others to continue expressing their opinions.
As a result, more voices began to sound in the conference room. Some were concerned about the power system of the submersible, some emphasized the reliability of communication equipment, and some put forward higher requirements for navigation and positioning technology...
The entire conference room was immersed in a lively and tense discussion atmosphere.
Lin Chenran motioned to the assistant on the side to record everyone's useful suggestions.
Wait until later and hand it over to the design Chief Designer of "Jiaolong" Deep-sea Exploration and Rescue Submersible.
Because the design and development of Jiaolong Deep-sea Exploration and Rescue Submersible is not very difficult.
Both Lin Chenran and Pan Xueming intend to let the young top marine engineers in 704 Shipyard lead the team to design and develop. This will not hold an internal Deep-sea Exploration and Rescue Submersible competition within the factory.
Let the young engineers in the factory form Design and R&D Team to design "Jiaolong" Deep-sea Exploration and Rescue Submersible.
Of course, this competition has time limits and personnel restrictions.
The most outstanding Deep-sea Exploration and Rescue Submersible design may become the last solution.
After the announcement, a group of young engineers from 704 Shipyard were gearing up. They all wanted to show off their talents, gain recognition from senior management, and pave the way for their future.
Who doesn't want to have a bright future?
Who doesn't want to be appreciated by superiors?
This Deep-sea Exploration and Rescue Submersible design competition is the best opportunity.
